  10. Why Archer Daniels Midland? • Feb 1997- Daryl Kraft said”I don’t think ConAgra or any other U.S. agrifood giant would be interested in UGG, because of the monopoly in buying and selling grain maintained by the CWB” • May 1997 – Daryl Kraft says the merger with ADM is ”obviously long term planning. They are assuming they won’t have to deal with the CWB in 5 or 10 years. Clearly they’d like to control the grain without having to negotiate with an intermediary” Cooperative Program in Agricultural Marketing and Business
